Four Mesquite City Council office seekers answered a battery of 33 questions from three members of the media during what was called an historic candidates forum Tuesday night.

Incumbent Geno Withelder and challengers Cindi Delaney, Richard Green and Sandra Ramaker were asked about campaign contributions, Gold Butte's future protection status, the city's land holdings, improving the central business district and privatizing ambulance services.
